Sunnyboy , i am also thinking about my phono stage that it might the weakest link to my system. Though i have tried several phono stage like EAT Phono , zesto , avid pulsare , acoustic research , etc. but this REGA a iOS Reference is the most musical and quiet phono stage that match with my system.

DreamaudioIf you are enjoying the Rega stay with it. If you have a friendly dealer or an even more friendly audio buddy willing to bring his phono over, thats the best way to go with a home demo. Whats your budget and do you prefer SS or tubes ? Multiple variables as you can guess.NJoy the ride.Pradeep
